Welcome to the first ever Pursuing Pixels James Jam Game Gam!?!  In celebration of our three-year anniversary, we are hosting this event for the first time, in the hopes that it will become an annual event!  We've discovered sooooo many amazing games + developers via digging through various game jams right here on itchio, and this is just one small way for us to 'return the favor.'  :D

• Theme:  Permanence 

• Rules:  Since we've already announced the theme, we're gonna keep the rules for this one super duper lax!  We're also giving everyone a week to work on their projects, as we don't want anyone to feel like they have to crunch for an entire weekend to crank something out — we just want to see some fun, cool, and creative games from some fun, cool, and creative folks!  :D

** That said, a couple of quick & simple rules:  

1)  Please feel free to use any pre-existing code and/or assets — just be sure to make note of anything that you used that was not created during the jam.

2)  Please list the controls for the game on the web page — this will simply ensure that people will know how to play your game.

3)  Please make sure the game runs on either PC and/or in web browsers.

4)  Please only leave CONSTRUCTIVE feedback — simply put, if you don't have anything nice to say, then don't say anything at all.

• Judging:  We're going to have the voting open to everyone here, developers and players alike!  We want to encourage more interactivity between folks that love indie games (like us) and the awesome folks that make them!

• Voting:  The voting period will last for one week, coming to a close when the clock strikes midnight  (Central Standard Time) on 05/30/2022.

• Winners:   1st Place  -  Caves of Eternity   |   2nd Place  -  Shrine of Cards   |   3rd Place  -  Zombies from the Graven

** Kevin will also be doing a livestream and checking out as many of the entries as possible, as well as making YouTube videos spotlighting his personal favorite entries!
